Egg Substitute For Vegans That Work Well

By Pamela Barnes


When people say they are vegetarians, it means they feed mainly on vegetables and foods of plant origin. Some of them do this for medical reasons while some others just have it as a lifestyle. They do not take foods that are cooked with meat, eggs, milk and even fish. Since they do not take some of these things that are important to man, they have a list of what should serve as an alternative. That is why egg substitute for vegans are thought of when it is time to bake items that would normally require some eggs.

One can go with applesauce. Applesauce can be used in baking just the same way eggs are useful in the process. Its fat-free nature makes it suitable for vegetarians who do not want to increase their fat consumption. Applesauce is also known to have low calories so it can prevent overweight issues, which is a characteristic of those who usually dwell on baked foods.

If the purpose for using eggs is to have a binder for the mixture, flaxseed can do the same job. They are even better for whole grain products because they have the flavor of nuts. Getting one is not difficult since they are available in the market and can be easily ordered online.

Another product to make an order for when you visit an online store is black salt. Although this has not been so for long, the need for the product increased so manufacturers had to increase their production to meet the increasing market. Now, people who want to eat tofu scrambles, quiches and vegan egg salad can do so and get the same taste that eggs supply in foods like this. Besides, black salt equally has a high sulfur content.

Ripe bananas are also used as a good replacement for eggs. You do not even have to buy much because 1 medium-sized ripe banana can do just the same as an egg would do. This makes it even a cheaper option since eggs are generally more expensive. If you would like to know what using a ripe banana in place of eggs look like, you can have a taste of black bean brownies.

Eggs are good for binding when baking but they can now be replaced with tapioca starch, either for vegetarians or those who want to limit how they consume eggs. Tapioca starch has a tremendous effect on dough as it makes it rise so much. Just a teaspoon mixed with one and a half tablespoons of water can do what an egg does. It is also suitable for making vegan mayonnaise.

Another mixture to use apart from eggs is baking soda and vinegar. It gives baked products their fluffiness so that they can look big and more attractive. They are also cheaper in the sense that one teaspoon with three teaspoons of water will do the same as one egg.

These are obviously not the only substitutes for eggs when baking. Generally, anything that can hold the ingredients together (that is improve its structure), make it to rise, and add moisture/richness to the item can be a good substitute. No matter what you go for, endeavor to get it at an affordable price. Many of the substitutes for eggs are even cheaper than using eggs.
